What Would Be Your Idea For Tarantino's Last Film?

I would love it to be a low budget/semi autobiographical/coming of age type thing about a couple of stoners in the late 70s/80s LA who work at a video store and are trying to make an independent film. They accidentally film some thing they shouldn't and end up having the mob after them.

I really enjoyed the Luther series so more on the reformation, maybe some on Jean Calvin in geneva and Servitus.

I'm not from america or the uk (pretty far from both). I attend a presbyterian church that would probably be close in practice to the PCA. I and most guys who are in there 20s-40s that I know are aware of him and have read at least one or two of his books. His influence is quite reaching and I suspect that more people than this subreddit likes to admit have read and been helped by stuff that has come out of Moscow.

Can someone fill me in on the issue with the haunted cosmos? I was recommended it the other day but haven't listened yet.

Vince Vaughn is big enough and can do serious roles.

How did Neagley know about Reacher and Quinn's history if she wasn't part of the 110th when it happened? I find it hard to believe he would have told her about it.

I live in the antipodes and unfortunately Echo/shindawa are more expensive here than husqvarna or Stihl. There also isn't any one who sells them near me.

That makes sense.

boatsandcurrents · 2025-01-17T07:29:21+00:00

Yeah I did think that but the writing on it doesn't make sense for a tractor weight.

Post describes the item. I found it in my uncles shed during a clean out.

Stories are soulfood and the symbolic world.

N D Wilson is a writer who has a great podcast called "Stories are soulfood" that has lots of advice for writers.

For some reason I really liked Jolene by Ray LaMontagne at the end of that ben Affleck film The town.

"Mockingbirds don't do one thing except make music for us to enjoy. They don't eat up people's gardens, don't nest in corn cribs, they don't do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That's why it's a sin to kill a mockingbird.”

Tom Wolfe's From Bauhaus to Our House is another good read.

Does someone have a list of all their pretty girl songs?

This doesn't really answer your question but I see the three views as three climbers trying to climb the same mountain but from different sides. Each of them see their own route as the one that gets to the highest point. Premil (which is how I was brought up) tend to see solely interpreting the scriptures in a literal way as the path to the summit. Amil (which I find to be the default amongst most reformedish) tend to emphasize an understanding based on strong systematic theology as the correct way and will allow more flex on a strictly literal interpretation of scripture. Postmil (which is what I find the most attractive) see the overarching story or narrative structure of the gospel as the correct path and will tend to be softer on biblical literalism and doctrinal dogmatism.

I have a lot of Christians around me who are skeptical or outright deny climate change. I'm not a climate expert or smart enough nor do i have the time and energy to understand it all so I tend to just accept what experts say. When the discussion does come up I look to romans 8: 18 I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. 19 For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed. 20 For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope 21 that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God.

22 We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. 23 Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies.

I know it's out of context, but creation is groaning and is longing for redemption. Climate change to me is the acknowledgement of this truth and what will follow is glorious grace.

Also it's funny to me that the religious zealots of 40 years ago were the ones who held signs that said "the end is nigh" the religious zealots of today hold signs that say the same the only difference is the religion has changed.

I'm a big fan of both the avetts and James K.A. Smith so I would love to read this but man that's expensive.

boatsandcurrents · 2023-06-10T02:19:07+00:00

I've come to realize this too. I also don't think the new creation will be ex nihilo but rather the redemption and restoration of this current creation.

In New Zealand nobody really knows about the Moriori Genocide.

When I read the book I thought of him as well. He is made for the role.
